How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you are?

Yesterday was my birthday and to be honest, it was a really long and exhausting day! I’m dying to get up to the cottage an have some peace and quiet time in the wilderness. I went to the doctor for a checkup. I know strange thing to do on your birthday but I had the day off work and I’d been putting it off for ages. Keri and I had lunch at the brand spankin’ new California Sandwiches at Bay/College. I had NO IDEA they had locations that were so modern. I’d only been to the the Claremont location that is older than your grandma. I went to the office for an event in the evening. We had a bunch of artists into the office and Luke Austin played some acoustic tunes for us. He is REALLY good, check him out here. Got some nice surprises throughout the day including flowers at my old agency! I used t get gifts there all the time so when flowers arrived for me yesterday, I’m sure everyone rolled their eyes. They are beautiful, thank you Evolution PR. Did some work from the roof at the office this morning. Man, it’s so nice up there. Title is a quote by Satchel Paige. This is my 32 year old face and I feel pretty great. I think I’ll always have a childlike fancy about me. It helps to always look on the bright side. Hope you’ve had a great week, sending you love & light! <3 CASIE

IT’S MY BIRTHDAY (TOMORROW) OMG.

Omg guys, tomorrow is my birthday! I’m taking vacation from work and spending the day with my sister and friends.  I’ve not planned anything special. Last weekend I went to the spa, I’ve got a hair appt tonight. I want to watch a movie w/ Sean tonight, get a good sleep, and wake up refreshed. I really HAVE gotten older, eh? Planning to visit my mama on Sunday to celebrate us both. After all, I WAS born on Mother’s Day way way back! This is a GIF I made for my birthday last year, 2013. 2012 was a fun time. Sean Hawaii had a huge party and I jacked it to be my very own! 21! Want to say thanks for tuning in and bring part of my life. I’m thankful for everything I’ve achieved and will continue to do awesome things and tell you about it. That’s all for now. Thank you and love ya 🙂 CASIE

Stop to Smell the Roses, Treat Yourself

I started this weekend off right with a trip to Hammam Spa early Saturday morning. I spent about 30 min in the steam room before my St. Tropez treatment. It’s a sunless tan type application and to be honest, I think it wore off already and I won’t do it again. The experience itself was great and I booked with Cynthia who is awesome. Smashed up some bananas in the blender to throw into this mix when it came out of the juicer. It was a great way to start Sunday morning. I made Sean and I nice breakfast and we watched Romancing the Stone, an old romance-find-the-treasure movie from the 80’s. These shoes arrived Friday from the NastyGal Shoe Cult. I made a mistake in the postal code when I purchased them and I totally thought they were on their way back to NG HQ. Had lunch at Free Times Cafe for Ariel & Chris’ engagement party. It was fun and the food was amazing. I really like Yiddish music. I wish I understood! The piano player was from the National Ballet of Canada too. Stopped by the Parkdale Flea Market on the way home. It was such a nice day out I just wanted to do things outside! I picked up a shirt for Sean with an illustrated bear that is running. It’s super cute. Made a delicious juice this morning with spinach, kale, grapefruit, apple, pear, and a dash of cinnamon. It’s so freaking good! If you missed our latest Cooking with Cuisinart episode with the juicer, watch it here. I feel good if I keep posting the juices I make because it serves as a good reminder for me to keep making them. I’d determined to drop a few LBs this month! When I arrived at the office…

Making Magic w/ Garret and a Food Processor

In this episode, Sasha, Garret and use a  Food Processor and make a delicious pizza (Garret’s recipe!) and chocolate muffins.  TBH, the pizza was so good I ended up taking some home for Sean We made the dough and topping the food processor. I didn’t really know what a food processor was before we filmed this. I had no idea you could make so many things with it. Garret uses his all the time for breads, salsa, even homemade hummus. Props to him for the nice image above. This is is my Martha Stewart pose.

Smart Phones, Dumb People: Look up!

Watched this vid today and thought I should share. ‘Look Up’ – A spoken word film for an online generation. It’s a ‘lesson taught to us through a love story, in a world where we continue to find ways to make it easier for us to connect with one another, but always results in us spending more time alone’. Written, Performed & Directed by Gary Turk. “When you’re too busy looking down, you don’t see the chances you miss.” Now stop reading this where ever you are, put down your phone, go outside.  Step away from your phone some time this weekend. Appreciate the day and that it’s all yours. Happy Friday! 🙂 <3 CASIE
